A friend and I passed Holland Park Mews as we were walking from the tube station, heading to Holland Park and the Kyoto Gardens.
As you may or may not know, mews houses were originally stables for the benefit of the main house. Then they were converted into cottages and now the ones in this mews are desirable because they are in Kensington.
As stables they were built in the second half of the 1800s, and I guess they were not all converted into dwellings at the same time.
I wonder what the properties are like inside?
The 67 properties are Grade II listed buildings, so the exteriors cannot be changed. But inside some of them might house 21st century modern kitchens and bathrooms.
Who knows?
When the wisteria blooms in the next couple of weeks, it should be an even prettier place to photograph.
